Can nasal polyps be treated with medication?

Many people always have a runny nose, and it is not caused by a cold or illness. This requires considering the possibility of nasal polyps. Nasal polyps are a relatively stubborn disease that requires people to pay attention and receive timely treatment. But can nasal polyps be cured with medication? Generally speaking, drug treatment is not very effective. The best method is surgical treatment, and nowadays surgeries are minimally invasive, so the trauma is small and recovery is quick.

1. Removal surgery: This is one of the effective methods to treat nasal polyps. The effect of nasal polyp removal surgery is very good. Obvious nasal polyps are relatively easy to remove, but hidden and larger nasal polyps are difficult to completely remove. Some residual tissue can easily cause the regeneration of nasal polyps. At the same time, the operation involves a lot of bleeding and patients often suffer from unbearable pain.

2. Laser surgery: It is an effective method for treating nasal polyps that is currently widely used. Due to the objective difficulties of the surgical operation, it is difficult for the laser fiber to penetrate into the diseased tissue. It is difficult to remove the polyp tissue in the event of bleeding during the operation. It also causes great damage to the normal nasal tissue and can easily cause other nasal diseases.

3. Drug treatment: If the patient's polyps are small and the nasal congestion symptoms are mild, drug treatment can be used. However, for those with larger polyps who have not responded to long-term medication, surgery is the best treatment method, because the effect of medication cannot be concentrated on the lesion. Therefore, surgery is the best way to treat nasal polyps.

Patients with nasal polyps should not take medication blindly. Because the causes of nasal polyps are complex, with no less than dozens of them, if patients blindly take medicine without knowing the cause, not only will the effect be ineffective, it may also cause "destructive treatment", lead to dysbiosis, increase the difficulty of treatment, and cause other harm to the patient himself. Again, there is no specific medicine for treating nasal polyps on the market, and some patients blindly take medicine which only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

Therefore, patients with nasal polyps must go to the hospital for standardized diagnosis and treatment, find out the cause, and treat the symptoms to scientifically cure nasal polyps. Patients must pay more attention to their diet and eat more foods that are beneficial to their health to promote physical recovery. Be careful not to overheat the food to avoid bleeding. Eat warm and cool food and a light diet. Avoid smoking, drinking, spicy food, coffee, fried food, and hot food. Eat more high-protein and high-vitamin foods.
